Recap: Spurs 110, Magic 89

Summing it up: Feasting on yet another cupcake, the Spurs improved to an NBA-best 9-1 away from home with their 29th victory in the past 33 road games dating back to last season. Even better, they did so in such emphatic fashion that, combined with their similarly dominant victory at Washington on Monday, the Spurs should be rested and motivated to attack Thursday’s contest at Miami, the last on their six-game, nine-day road swing.

Player of the game: Manu Ginobili was on the far end of his streaky spectrum, sinking five 3-pointers in the first half and six overall to finish with a team-high 20 points — his fourth straight double-digit outing and eighth in the past 10. Ginobili’s hot shooting rubbed off on on his teammates, who made five others 3s for a total of 11. He also found the time to grab four rebounds and dish out five assists despite playing just 24 minutes,

Play of the game: Tim Duncan has enjoyed an upswing in virtually every facet of his game in Season No. 16 — scoring, rebounding, defense, even 3-point shooting. Less than two weeks after stinging Denver with a half-time buzzer-beater, Duncan was at it again, tucking both feet just behind the line and knocking down a line-drive 3 to give the Spurs a 14-point lead at the break. With two 3s this season, Duncan ties his largest total since 2009-10.

Continuation

* Looking for a light night with the Heat looming, San Antonio’s mainstays did themselves a big favor by dominating in the first half. Duncan (13), Ginobili (12) and Tony Parker (12) combined for 37 points in the first half, accounting for two thirds of the Spurs’ offense and nearly matching Orlando’s entire total of 41 by themselves.

* The Spurs shouldn’t have any reason not to contest the Miami game with full vigor. Neither Parker nor Duncan have played in two fourth quarters since the double-overtime marathon at Toronto on Sunday, while Ginobili has played a total of just five minutes.

* The Spurs’ offense has been nothing short of spectacular through the first five games of their six-game road trip. In scoring 112, 104, 111, 110 and 118 points, the Spurs have registered a 115.4 offensive rating (points per 100 possessions) with a true shooting percentage of 59.2. (Over 50 percent is good, 60 percent is exceptional.)
